Currently, the Goli Vada Pavs have close to 300 stores in more than 60 cities in 16 states.

"Our expansion is govern by the theory that why can't Vada Pav move out of Mumbai when Dominos and McDonald could move out of their country," Iyer said. He added that they had received enquiries from the cities across Odisha, Jamshedpur, Dhanbad and Kolkata. 

The company would conduct the survey at its level and take the decision to open the store.
